Calxa Australia was recognised with a Merit Award last night in Melbourne at the National iAwards. ICT leaders and innovators across 25 categories were honoured at the annual ceremony with Senator Stephen Conroy, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate and The Minister for Broadband Communications and the Digital Economy amongst the special guests.
Calxa was honoured for its work in the community sector taking home the award in the e-Inclusions and e-Community category. Company CEO Mick Devine was delighted “Winning in this category means a lot to us. This is a great opportunity to further expand our reach to Not-for-Profit organisations and continue our work in simplifying reporting.”
Kelly Hutchinson, Executive Judge of iAwards said “We congratulate Calxa for the effort they put in, helping make sense of finance for the not-for-profit sector.”
The 2012 iAwards honours companies at the cutting edge of technology and is the most comprehensive awards program in the technology industry today with Australia’s three peak industry bodies: The Australian Computer Society (ACS), Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) and Pearcey Foundation coming together to deliver one truly premier industry awards event.
Chair of the Pearcey Foundation, Wayne Fitzsimmons, said the quality of 2012 iAwards nominations was exceptional. “Choosing winners from these nominations was a very difficult task but those selected represent the most outstanding innovating companies with world class R&D in the Australian ICT industry today.”
AIIA CEO, Suzanne Campbell, said the record number of nominations across all categories of the iAwards this year confirmed it as the pre-eminent event in Australia’s ICT industry. “The recognition of both nominees and winners by their peers and industry is unparalleled and leads to both business and career opportunities.”
